What Do I Need to Purchase to Manage the iPads/iPods in My School? There are multiple ways for setting up your management process: iTunes, and Apple ID, and a cable on a Mac or PC in small quantities of iPads An Apple ID, Mac or PC, and iTunes over Wifi An MDM such as Meraki or Lightspeed A Mac computer and Apple Configurator
7
Volume Purchasing Program No matter your preferred method of managing multiple iPads/iPods in your school you MUST set up a VPP account with Apple if you plan purchase the same applications for multiple iPads on the same account! However, if you plan to simply have your teachers manage one or two iPads on their own with their own accounts and use iTunes Gift Cards, debit/credit cards, or some other methods where each iPad is purchasing it’s own license, a VPP account would not be needed.

How do they stack up? APPLEANDROID Cost: higher App Store: more expansive, but limited in who can develop apps. VPP account required for licenses. Management: Multiple iPads would most easily need to be managed through a Mac on Configurator or an MDM, but can be managed individually through iTunes. Additional costs can add up quickly. Accessories: ONLY works with certified Apple products. NO FLASH! Can limit web based applications Needs training for individuals who manage them. End user training vital! Cost: Lower App Stores: less expansive, but open source for developers. No VPP accounts required. Management: Free Google Apps for Education console & Free Google Play online management & Chromebook management console included in Chromebook pricing. Accessories: Work with numerous vendors and after market products, low cost. Flash available Simple user friendly management interface makes training for management minimal End user training vital!
